How to make church’s chicken fries

Answer 1

To make Church's Chicken fries, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- Vegetable oil for frying

Here's a step-by-step guide to make Church's Chicken fries:

1. Cut the chicken breasts into long, thin strips, resembling the shape of French fries.

2. In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if desired) to create the coating mixture.

3. Pour the buttermilk into another shallow bowl.

4. Dip each chicken strip into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it with the flour mixture. Ensure that each strip is evenly coated.

5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 350°F (175°C).

6. Carefully add the coated chicken fries to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them in batches if needed.

7. Cook the chicken fries for about 5-7 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Flip them occasionally for even cooking.

8. Once cooked, transfer the chicken fries to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

9. Serve the Church's Chicken fries hot and enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce.

Note: Church's Chicken fries are typically crispier and seasoned differently compared to regular French fries. You may adjust the seasoning according to your preferences.
